Step-by-Step Guide
Getting Started with Adobe Stock
Before you can start, ensure you have access to Adobe Stock. Open Premiere Pro CC 2018 and go to the libraries. Here, you can assemble your media and interact with Adobe Stock.

Navigation to the Library
Navigate within Premiere Pro to your library to find various media such as "Color Themes," videos, and graphics. This overview helps you keep everything necessary in one place and makes editing your projects easier.
Searching for Content
To find content from Adobe Stock, you can simply search for the desired term in the library. For example, if you enter “vehicle,” the entire Adobe Stock database will be searched, and the relevant results will be displayed.

Previewing and Selecting Content
If you find an image you like, you have the option to save a preview. Simply click on the corresponding option to save the image in your library. This makes it easier for you to select later when you are editing your project.

Drag and Drop into the Timeline
You can drag the found graphic or animation directly into your timeline. To insert it, simply drag and drop the image into the desired spot. Of course, this is initially just a preview, but it greatly simplifies the design of your timeline.

Licensing the Content
To turn the preview into the licensed image, click on the licensing option. After licensing, the preview will be replaced with a live version that you can then use in your project.
Categorizing Search Results
If you are looking for different types of content, such as illustrations or videos, you can sort the search results categorically. This means you can display only vectors or specific videos to work more precisely.

Accessing Your Licensed Work
You have the ability to access your licensed media at any time, without needing to visit the Adobe Stock website first. All licensed elements are directly available in your libraries, greatly simplifying your workflow.
